The Opening 2014: Breaking Down Each Top-25 Team's Commits, Targets in Beaverton

Perhaps the biggest event of the offseason for a recruit is The Opening. Set to take place July 7-10 in Oregon, 162 of the nation's top prospects will compete for several days in Beaverton.

Some recruits will come into the event already committed, while others will be top targets for programs. Looking at the final Top 25 AP Poll from last season, many schools have either a commitment or target who will be at The Opening.

Alabama has several future players scheduled to attend the event, while USC will likely be interested in hearing how a few of its targets fared. Plus, Michigan State has a quarterback commitment participating in the Elite 11 Finals.

None of Washington's three commitments are scheduled to appear at The Opening. However, the Huskies do have a few targets who will be working out at the event.

Keisean Lucier-South, a 5-star defensive end, will be coming to Beaverton to punish opposing offensive linemen with his speed. At 6'5" and 225 pounds, the California native has an ideal frame for a young pass-rusher.

The next target for U-Dub at The Opening is 5-star defensive tackle Rasheem Green, who is coveted by many schools. Washington also is in on 4-star center Fred Ulu-Perry and 4-star linebacker/receiver Ben Humphreys.

Wisconsin's coaching staff likely will not pay much attention to what shakes out at The Opening. The Badgers lack a commitment participating in the event, plus none of their top targets appear to have been invited.

However, head coach Gary Andersen has his squad in the mix for 4-star linebacker/athlete Osa Masina, as well as 4-star running back Michael Weber.

21. Arizona State

Brady White is an Arizona State pledge who will be at The Opening. The 4-star quarterback will be looking to showcase his skills in the Elite 11 Finals, plus wow observers during seven-on-seven games.

His teammate at Hart High School in California is 4-star receiver Trent Irwin, who also will be on hand. Both players are 6'2" and 190 pounds, and they'll be looking to connect on passing plays throughout their time in Beaverton.

Quarterback Kyler Murray and defensive lineman Daylon Mack will lead the way for Texas A&M at The Opening. It will be neat to see how the 5-star commitments do during the event.

However, they will not be alone in Beaverton. Fellow pledges such as 4-star safety Larry Pryor, 4-star defensive back Justin Dunning and 4-star tight end Jordan Davis will also be with Murray and Mack.

16. UCLA

The recruit who will be carrying the flag for UCLA at The Opening is 5-star quarterback Josh Rosen. The California native pledged to the Bruins earlier this spring, plus he's capable of recruiting like a coach.

13. Baylor

A ton of elite targets for Baylor will be attending The Opening. For starters, the 5-star trio of receiver Damarkus Lodge, linebacker Malik Jefferson and cornerback Kendall Sheffield will be tracked by the Bears through next February.

The same can be said for 4-star running back Soso Jamabo and 4-star cornerback Holton Hill. Baylor also has some interest in Xavier Lewis, a 4-star cornerback from Louisiana.

Just because Ohio State doesn't have a commitment going to The Opening doesn't mean its presence won't be felt in Beaverton.

The Buckeyes are in on several prime prospects who are scheduled to attend the event. Defensive end Josh Sweat, linebacker Malik Jefferson and defensive back Tarvarus McFadden are 5-star prospects that Ohio State likes.

11. Stanford

No Stanford pledges will be working out at The Opening. However, several targets will be on hand.

Receiver Trent Irwin and cornerback Frank Buncom IV are 4-star prospects who could line up against each other at some point. Rasheem Green is a 5-star defensive lineman who can play end or tackle, while 4-star running back Soso Jamabo is already 6'3" and 210 pounds.

10. UCF

Central Florida isn't usually in the mix for elite prospects. However, the Knights do have a few connections to The Opening.

UCF would love to land 5-star quarterback Torrance Gibson, while it is trying to hold the attention of 5-star athlete/receiver George Campbell. Another player in attendance who is on Central Florida's radar is 5-star defensive back Tarvarus McFadden.

9. Oregon

Taj Griffin, a speedy 4-star running back from Georgia, is the lone Oregon commitment headed to The Opening.

The Ducks, however, do have many targets coming to the event. Byron Cowart and Rasheem Green are 5-star defensive linemen who are looking to impress, while 4-star receiver Ryan Newsome and 4-star running back Soso Jamabo are also considering playing in Eugene.

4. South Carolina

Fields is a solid cornerback, while Pittman is a linebacker with good range. Among the Gamecocks' biggest targets in attendance will be 5-star offensive tackle Martez Ivey, 5-star cornerback Tarvarus McFadden, 4-star offensive tackle Matthew Burrell and 4-star defensive back Jaquan Johnson.

3. Michigan State

For Michigan State, The Opening will be centered on one commitment and one target. Brian Lewerke is a 3-star quarterback who pledged to the Spartans in April.

Should the Arizona native spin it well in Beaverton, he could see another star added by his name. Chris Clark is an uncommitted 4-star tight end who can block like an offensive lineman. He needs to make sure he makes a big impact in the seven-on-seven portion of the event.
